You excel at taking down snipers, and Ashe is no exception. Defense Matrix can negate most of Ashe's abilities; if you fly towards Ashe point blank while she's isolated, you can take her out and retreat before her teammates show up to avenge her. D.Va's Police Officer skin was released in 2017, leading a number of players to vow to never play D.Va, linking the skin with police brutality. [21] The mech will receive any momentum from Boosters if they were used prior to activating Self-Destruct. Use this to launch it in the right direction, and even to stall its travel around corners and catch enemies by surprise.

Combining the ability with primary fire can ensure a kill on an isolated enemy. It is less effective when used on a group of enemies, but still provides a strong pressure and enough damage to gain a great amount of ultimate charge. You may be a large target for your friendly Ana to heal, but you're also a mobile one. Make sure you're always in your Ana's line of sight to stay at full health. While a Nano Boosted D.Va isn't as threatening as the likes of a boosted Reinhardt or Genji, with correct maneuvering and close-range hits you can take down a decent chunk of the enemy team during your powered-up state. Do not use Self-Destruct, as you'll immediately lose your Nano Boost in the process. Hana is a fan of Lúcio's music, and has apparently bought his album. He in turn also knows enough of the pro-gaming scene to be a fan of hers. Succeeding in using Self-Destruct's explosion will fully charge D.Va's Call Mech ability. However, if your mech is blown off a cliff while the countdown is still going, you will not gain any ultimate charge.At higher skill levels, the classic "dive" composition almost always includes both D.Va and Genji, along with Winston and Tracer. Defense Matrix can only negate Doomfists primary fire, and his consistent stunning moves can make escaping him excessively difficult. Choosing to fight him head-on alone will also end badly, as his ability to generate overhealth means he'll always be able to outlast you until your mech is destroyed, at which point you're as good as gone. Keep your distance, and only engage when you have teammates to help you. Defense Matrix is especially strong against most damage dealers. It can even negate a dangerous bullet from Cassidy's Deadeye or even Pharah's Barrage. Micro Missiles: When activated, D.Va's mech will launch a volley of missiles after a short cast time. The missiles will travel in a straight line and hit the first solid target. The ability can be activated in all actions and can't be stopped until D.Va is stunned or the mech is destroyed. The missiles can damage the D.Va who fired them. Fusion Cannons: D.Va's main weapons on the mech. Her mech can fire consistent shotgun-like bullets onto the targeted point. She can rapidly fire her bullets without needing to reload, but suffers from slow movement while firing.

Spraying the bullets at mid-to-long range has little to no effect, but it can pressure the enemy and sometimes interrupt some certain abilities when hit, like supports' self-healing passive and Sombra's Stealth. You need to prioritize protecting the team from flankers and snipers, potentially by rushing them down at close range. Snipers are your first target since they are vulnerable at close range followed by other damage dealers depending on the situation and their position.If some hero rushes into a group of enemies, use Defense Matrix to cover your allies when needed. For example, cover Winston when he jumps in or cover Pharah when she is using her ultimate. You can protect your teammates with Defense Matrix without needing to be right next to them thanks to its long range. Keep its short duration in mind; try not to spend all of its charge and leaving yourself as the enemy's main target. Aiming for the upper-body is recommended due to the nature of spread in combination with infinite ammo.
